"Amazing"

I visited Kenya between 31 Jan 2018 and 13 Feb 2018
"This was our first trip with Expert Africa and to Africa.

We probably did not know exactly what to expect. We would do some things differently if we were to return to Kenya. The game drives were amazing and all the guides were terrific.

Also, visiting a village while at Saruni Sambur , a school and the Maa Trust while at Nabisco was terrific. Horse back riding and climbing up to Pride Rock at Borana were unique and fun experiences.

Our last day in Nairobi, with a wonderful guide, was great. We had a lovely lunch and visited the Giraffe Center and the David Sheldrick Elephant Refuge. Meeting our Emoli, the elephant we adopted was truly a highlight." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"Perfect Safari"

I visited Kenya between 29 Jan 2018 and 2 Feb 2018
"I had almost given up hope of ever going on a Safari. The opportunity presented itself, I went with my companion, we had an absolutely perfect Safari. Period. Fabulous. Our hesitantly high expectations were immeasurably surpassed. Bu then again, if all goes well in the Mara, that is no surprise." Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"Kenya: Laikipia and Mara Conservancies 2018"

I visited Kenya between 27 Jan 2018 and 11 Feb 2018
"This was a wonderful safari, with smooth connections, the right kind of lodges and camps that met all of our needs, top-notch guiding, and plenty of wildlife (including a number of first-time sightings for us, as this was our first safari to East Africa)."

"Excellent"

I visited Kenya between 20 Jan 2018 and 31 Jan 2018
"The trip was very good indeed and, for the friends we went with it was an excellent experience for a first visit to Kenya.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No. It is first class and we wouldn't use any other company to travel to Africa." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Terrific introduction to Kenya"

I visited Kenya between 17 Jan 2018 and 4 Feb 2018
"We have been to several African countries but this was our first time in Kenya and we chose areas to visit slightly off the usual track: Laikipia, Samburu and Meru.
Each was quite different but within relatively easy reach. We travelled to all three by road, only getting on a bush plane from Meru to Nairobi. Each camp too was quite individual in terms of style and atmosphere.
The tented camp Kicheche in Laikipia was our favourite overall but Saruni Samburu and Elsa's Kopje were both excellent experiences and in spectacular positions. Of the three Elsa's probably had the highest age profile.
We scored a number of firsts such as tiny lion cubs, a successful cheetah hunt and bat-eared foxes mating (in broad daylight!). It was a delight to see the animals unique to the area such as reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and Grevy's zebra. It was also a privilege to attend part of the celebrations of a Samburu wedding.
All in all a terrific trip and an introduction to Kenya that will probably be hard to beat." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Kenya safari

"My Zanzibar break in Jan 18"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 17 Jan 2018 and 23 Jan 2018
"Actually rather disappointing. The trip notes were inadequate and despite assuring me that my coeliac condition had been passed to both Chumbe Island and Kholle Hotel, this was not the case. On the island that was not a problem as the food was mainly fish and salads but at the hotel it most certainly was a problem.

The Kholle House is a lovely boutique hotel but was not the most relaxing. see me earlier comments. Not what i expected. Very disappointed.

However the Lazizi hotel was a lovely but I did feel that the charges by Expert Africa for arranging this were high to excessive when looking at the hotel website." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Our January 2018 trip"

I visited Kenya between 10 Jan 2018 and 22 Jan 2018
"We had no previous experience of Africa or safaris, and this was a terrific introduction. There were no flaws in the arrangements, everyone we dealt with was welcoming and efficient - and of course the landscape and animals were breathtaking."

"Our dream holiday"

I visited Kenya between 3 Jan 2018 and 14 Jan 2018
"I think we've pretty much said it all in our previous comments. It was a perfect trip. Richard's knowledge of Kenya is unparalleled. He persuaded us to shape our trip to fit what we didn't even know we wanted. Great advice and in the planning he explained clearly how to view the trip, what we should expect and how it would pan out, without remotely spoiling the sense of discovery and surprise. In retrospect the only thing to have changed was probably to have spent a night in the city of Nairobi and one less day on the beach. Just because I love seeing cities at night. We did get a bit of that since our flight was very late in the evening as it happened. An extraordinary experience, we are indebted to you Richard and we will return to Kenya as soon as we can. Expert Africa are aptly named. Thanks to all who made it happen." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Kenya 2017"

I visited Kenya between 6 Dec 2017 and 18 Dec 2017
"Another extremely enjoyable visit to Kenya.

Loldia House is a good place to start, offering a beautiful house that is not difficult to get to from Nairobi.

The Mara was ... the Mara! Cats all over the place - we even saw leopard on four occasions - the weather was lovely during the day, with rain just on a couple of occasions late on.

The standards at Governors' were as high - in all aspects - as we have previously experienced and although not the cheapest place to stay, you do "get what you pay for". Note, if you want to get best value from them, opt to take breakfast with you on the early drive ... we were out for the best part of six hours each morning with another 3 - 31/2 hour pm drive.

The Serena group have consistently high standards for what they offer." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari
